Possible Cause
Remedying the Error
SafeShield function 
module
➢
Interrupt the supply of power to the 
SafeShield safety light curtain and to the 
function module for at least 3 seconds.
➢
If the problem persists, replace the 
function module.
Overcurrent at 
switching output 1
➢
Check the contactor. Replace, if 
necessary.
➢
Check the wiring for short-circuit to 
0V.
Short-circuit at 
switching output 1
➢
Check the wiring for short-circuit to 
24V.
Short-circuit at 
switching output 1
➢
Check the wiring for short-circuit to 
0V.
Overcurrent at 
switching output 2
➢
Check the contactor. Replace, if 
necessary.
➢
Check the wiring for short-circuit to 
0V.
Short-circuit at 
switching output 2
➢
Check the wiring for short-circuit to 
24V.
Short-circuit at 
switching output 2
➢
Check the wiring for short-circuit to 
0V.
Short-circuit 
between switching 
output 1 and 2
➢
Check the wiring and rectify the error.
Teach-in key-
operated switch 
or emergency 
stop button fault
➢
Check whether the configuration of the 
teach-in key-operated switch or 
emergency stop button in the SCD 
matches the electrical connection.
➢
Check the function of the teach-in key 
operated switch or emergency stop 
button.
Invalid 
configuration of 
the EDM
➢
Verify that the machine-side EDM is 
connected correctly.
External sender 
detected
➢
Check the distance from reflective 
surfaces (page 20) or from other light 
curtains.
➢
If necessary, re-configure the device 
with another beam coding (page 13) or 
install non-reflective partitions.
Connection 
problem between 
host and guest
➢
Check the connection between the 
cascaded devices. If necessary, replace 
defective cables.
Communication in 
cascaded system 
failed
➢
Verify the configuration of the system 
using the SCD software. Retransfer the 
corrected configuration to the system.
➢
Check the connection between the 
cascaded devices. If necessary, replace 
defective cables.
Supply voltage too 
low
➢
Check the supply voltage and the 
power supply. If necessary, replace 
defective components.
Fault in PSDI 
mode
➢
Verify the configuration of the system 
using the SCD software. Retransfer the 
corrected configuration to the system.
➢
Check the switch for the machine cycle 
contacts. Ensure that these are 
correctly connected and configured. 
Replace this if necessary.

Extended Diagnosis
The SCD software supplied with the device includes extended 
diagnostic options. It allows you to narrow down the problem if the 
error is non-specific or if you experience usage downtime 
problems. Detailed information to be found …
• In the online help for the SCD.
• In the user manual for the SCD.
